Multidomain Ferroelectrics Test Positive for Negative Capacitance
An international collaboration involving researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the LCN, and colleagues from Switzerland, Spain, France and Luxembourg has demonstrated that destabilising the spontaneous polarisation of a special class of...
Heat from the Environment can Help Quantum Annealers Solve Certain Problems
Scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) have recently demonstrated that heat energy coming in from the outside can help a quantum annealer get better solutions for a certain type of problem. The usual approach to quantum annealing is to run the device...
Quantum magnets forced to ”chillax”
In what may provide a potential path to connecting data in a quantum computer, researchers have shown that excited atoms in silicon can be forced into a relaxed state on-demand using a device that serves as a microwave “tuning fork.” The team’s findings could...
